You don’t need a whole arsenal of fancy gadgets. A sharp paring knife is your best friend here. Sharp is the key word—a dull knife will squish your berry and your dreams. Also, grab a cutting board that doesn’t slide around. We want fancy, not a trip to the ER.
Oh, and wash your berries. Please. Nobody wants a crunchy strawberry, and by crunchy I mean sandy. Give them a gentle rinse and pat them dry with a towel. Wet berries are slippery berries, and slippery berries are moody berries.
